Warning

After Kernel/OS update the driver stop working sometimes
Reinstall the driver solve the problem

# 510 - driver version
sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-driver-510
sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-dkms-510

cuda toolkit#

Nvidia install page

Environment#

.bashrc
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.6/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.6/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda

Tip

trick to avoid adding an extra : when $PATH is not set. 

${PATH:+:${PATH}}

cuDNN#

NVIDIA cuDNN is a GPU-accelerated library of primitives for deep neural networks.
